Wheelie Bin

From BBC News

This BBC article caught my eye due to the rather unusual sea rescue of a wheelie bin - what a plonker.

You can just imagine the unnamed fellow saying, ‘see you later darling – I am going to retrieve the bin.’ And the reply ‘yes dear.’

Several hours later he ends up in hospital – it’s like something out of a Monty Python sketch.

It also caught my eye because of the location, Red Wharf Bay on Anglesey – one of Salty Dog’s favourite locations. The little village/anchorage has a wonderful beach, a pub (very important to Salty Dog) and a little cafe. The pub grub, be warned, is expensive and overpriced although tasty. The cafe on the other hand is reasonably priced and equally tasty grub can be had.

If you prefer, take a picnic – we gather you can dump your leftovers in a local wheelie bin now understood to be tethered to the sea wall.

There is nothing else there, not even a shop and the hotel up on the hill where we once stayed closed several years ago – that was before we bought our own north Wales abode.

When the tide is out you can walk for miles and Salty Dog gets to play in the pools left behind by the receding sea. Plan your walk carefully, cos when that tide returns it does so at greater pace than many can run.
